Developing tools to study transport, behavior, and fate of natural and pollutant organic matter in estuarine, coastal, and deep-sea environments; examining consequence of aquatic food webs and early diagenesis on the cycling and preservation of organic matter at the molecular level in natural water and sediments; evaluating what can (and perhaps cannot!) be realistically gleaned about environmental processes from stratigraphic biomarker analysis in geological records.
